Jan20: Vintage Laced Edge Cowl
Do you love the look of asymmetric shawls but have a hard time figuring out how to wrap them, only to have them slip off throughout the day? This project is the answer. Like a shawl, this piece is worked flat but a quick (3") seam transforms it into a beautiful cowl that mimics the look and drape of an asymmetric shawl without all the fuss. The instructions are both written and charted. This cowl would be a good skill-building project for newer knitters looking to venture into some lace. Experienced knitters will find this project relaxing with very satisfying results.
